Film Notes

In Chaplin’s park films the location functions as an “island” (apart from the normal restraints of society) in which each character gives free rein to his impulses – sexual, violent, larcenous, etc. – usually in conflict with the impulses of one or more of the other characters. Twenty Minutes of Love is typical of this group of films.
